Updated 8 February - Dogfighting in the backyard

Monday, February 08, 2010   |   posted by Spitfire Site Editor   |   permalink

Technology issues kept me busy during the weekend, see more about it at the bottom of this post. In a meantime, there are two new videos for today.
  • A Truly Emotional Start-up is a video clip from the film "Perfect Lady", which covers full restoration story of ML407, a two-seater Sptifire TR MK. IX also known as the Grace Spitfire.
     
  • The World's Worst Special Effects Movie? falls definitely into amateur category, but all the Airfix dogfighting in the backyard made me feel like I was back in the 1960s. Check it yourself.
     
Inspired by the forthcoming demise of FTP Blogger, one of key components in this site's inner workings, I have already started looking for alternatives. An obvious candidate for replacing Blogger is Wordpress, another well-known blog tool and publishing platform. I have set up a test installation at one of my other sites to evaluate it. If you care to take a look you will be able to see how much progress I've done so far. Also, rather than boring everyone here with further technical talk, I'm blogging my progress there. A short summary so far is that Wordpress looks promising, and, more importantly, easy enough.
